A4 1.8t FWD w/Wetterauer 1.0 Chip

Gear Shift	RPM before	RPM after	Speed
1^st - 2^nd	6,390	3,870	37 mph
2^nd - 3^rd	6,350	3,890	60 mph
3^rd - 4^th	5,510	4,370	85 mph
4^{th -}5^th	5,440	4,430	106 mph

These ratios are weird. It seems like 1st and 2nd gears are perfect for 0-60 runs, but then there is a flat spot from 55-65 mph. Then 3rd, 4th, and 5th are very close together for great performance between 70-130 mph. But then the engine is too short geared for top speed runs. Should be a great set of ratios for the track, but I would prefer more evenly spaced gears for everyday use. If you are interested in high-speed cruising, you may also want taller gears, but that would hurt 0-60 times a little.
